Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.6
GPA, above 35 of the 50 other tools for selling digital products we grade
Tebex sells in-game items, subscriptions and passes for game servers and studios through webstores, in-game stores and a headless API. It acts as the merchant of record, which means it handles payments, sales tax, fraud and chargebacks. Server owners can open an account on a free plan with a flat per-transaction fee.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Tebex, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No store rating on record, and it is a web app where the work is setting up the store and its packages, so it sits at C.
- 1
Best for webstores for game servers
Tebex runs webstores and payments for game servers, and handles sales tax as merchant of record.
- 2
Paid plans start at about $16.74 a month
As its pricing page puts it: £12.49 per month, plus a 5% fee on every transaction.
- 3
There is a free plan
Starter plan: no monthly subscription, with a flat 5% fee on all transactions, unlimited packages and fraud and chargeback protection.
- 4
It runs on Web
Web.
- 5
In-game and web stores
Sells items, subscriptions, season passes and DLC through a themed webstore or an in-game store connected to the server.
- 6
Headless API
Lets a studio keep its own storefront while Tebex runs packages, subscriptions, coupons and creator codes in the background.
- 7
Merchant of record
Tebex says it takes responsibility for payments, taxes, compliance and disputes on every transaction.
- 8
A 2.6 GPA, above 35 of 50
That is against the other tools for selling digital products we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
To replace Tebex you would be making selling as the merchant of record, so sales tax and VAT are handled everywhere. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for webstores for game servers
Tebex runs webstores and payments for game servers, and handles sales tax as merchant of record. A 5% fee comes off every transaction on both plans, so the £12.49 Plus plan only adds a custom domain and store editing.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Plus is £12.49 a month, in the middle of the category, and the 5% fee is charged on top of it. Starter has no monthly fee. |
| Free plan and trial | B | Starter has no monthly fee, unlimited packages and fraud and chargeback cover, for a flat 5% of every sale. |
| Features | B | Webstore and in-game store, headless API, merchant of record, sales tax, subscriptions and basket recovery. Basket recovery and the editor are Plus, but nothing in the listing is missing from the job. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record, and it is a web app where the work is setting up the store and its packages, so it sits at C. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web plus an in-game store, with a headless API and six listed integrations. No desktop or phone apps. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Tebex is for
- Fits if you run a game server and sell ranks or items
- Makes sense if you want someone else to handle sales tax
Who it is not for
- Pricey if you pay for Plus, because the 5% fee still applies on top of £12.49
- Tight if you want a custom domain, the HTML and CSS editor or abandoned basket recovery, all of which need Plus
- Watch out: prices on the server page are in pounds, and the studio offering has no published prices
- Skip it if you want an app, as there are no desktop or phone apps listed
Good to know
Good for
- Minecraft, FiveM, Rust and other game server owners selling ranks and items
- Studios that want a merchant of record to carry tax and chargeback risk
- Communities that want to monetize a Discord server
Worth knowing
- Prices on the server page are in pounds sterling, and a 5% fee applies to every transaction on both plans.
- The server pricing page lists named games such as Minecraft, ARK, Rust and Garry's Mod; Tebex also has a separate studio offering with no published prices.
- A custom domain, HTML and CSS editor and abandoned basket recovery need the paid Plus plan.
- Runs in a browser and inside games through the in-game store; no desktop or mobile apps are listed.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Tebex you would be making selling as the merchant of record, so sales tax and VAT are handled everywhere. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 35 of the 50 other tools for selling digital products we grade. It costs $200.82 a year.
What you could make
- Digital downloads: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Selling as the merchant of record, so sales tax and VAT are handled everywhere.
- Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you.
- It plugs into other products, PayPal, Discord and Steam among them, and has an API.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Tebex’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
